Abstract: The present invention provides a 16A socket with an intelligent protection shutter, comprising a protection shutter disposed in the base for covering the N-pole earth contact and the L-pole earth contact. The protection shutter includes a drive surface and a planar surface portion over the E-pole earth contact. The drive surface and the planar surface portion are formed such that, upon a 16A plug being inserted into the 16A socket, an E-pole plug pin of the 16A plug is brought into contact only with the drive surface but not with the planar surface portion, while upon a I0A plug being inserted into the 16A socket, an E-pole plug pin of the 1OA plug is brought into contact only with the planar surface portion but not with the drive surface. By providing a structure that combines the drive surface and the planar surface portion on the protection shutter, the present invention enables prevention of plugs other than 16A plug, such as a I OA plug, from being inserted into a 16A socket, and thus ensures safe use of electricity. The 16A socket of the present invention has the advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing costs, and safe and reliable use.
